Ben Affleck dropped a major clue MONTHS ago that his marriage to Jennifer Lopez was over

Ben Affleck dropped a major clue months ago that he was done with wife Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce on Tuesday.

The 51-year-old star was talking with Kevin Hart during an episode from season four of his show Hart To Heart which was filmed in the early months of 2024.

The Argo director was telling a story about how fans mobbed his spouse when they were his children Violet, Fin and Samuel in hyper busy Times Square in New York City.

At one point, Ben used the past tense when referring to his marriage.

Ben said his daughter - he did not say if he was referring to Violet or when Fin was Seraphina - has this thing where she is 'always throwing out titles to her autobiography.'  

His daughter then turned to her dad Ben after the JLo frenzy began and said a title for her autobiography could be: J-Lo Was My Stepmother.

He does bring up why his daughter used the past tense 'was.' It may have been because the marriage was already over by then.

Ben then added: 'And I was like, alright that's a good title.'

Affleck and Lopez separated in April and she filed for divorce on Tuesday, which was their two year wedding anniversary.

The interview was filmed in early 2024 as Ben had a full beard; he shaved it off in March to film The Accountant 2. 

It could be possible that they were already split when the interview took place before March, even though Jennifer has claimed they separated in April. 

Also in the Hart interview, Ben went into great detail about how Lopez has crazy fame while he has sorta fame. 

The Air star said fans went 'bananas' when they spotted the 55-year-old Bronx-born beauty with him in Times Square. 

Turns out, it was his idea to walk through one of the busiest neighborhoods with a superstar on his arm. 

'We went somewhere with [Jennifer]—I can't remember because she's so famous, and she creates this—people love her, and she really represents something important to people,' Affleck stated.

'[To me,] people are like, "Hey, I like your movie," and then they're like "AAAHHHH! J-LO!" he yelled. 'It's amazing, you know what I mean?'

Then he got more specific. 

'I think it was when we rolled through Times Square,' he continued.

Jennifer, seen with Emme on June 8, seems to be OK with her fame

'We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, "F*** it, babe, we're going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half." [Lopez] was like, "Alright," she didn't say s***.'

They were with all their children - he has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with Jennifer Garner and Lopez has Max and Emme with Marc Anthony.

'We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s*** was like f****n' bananas,' Affleck noted.

'I was like, "Oh my God." There was a lady, she was smoking weed, in a full purple skintight suit—she's a heavy lady—and she starts running backwards filming, going "-LO!!"

He added, 'Like a herald, that then gets everyone else, and then all the tourists come in.'

Affleck said the chaos was a lot to take in.

'Then we've got our five kids, it's me and Jen and what feels like hundreds of people, and they're all screaming.'

Affleck also addresses his resting grumpy face and his explanation is hard to believe as the actor - who has been in front of cameras for three decades - declared he is 'shy.'

Ben said: 'I'm also a little bit shy. I don't like a lot of attention.

'This is why people see me and they're like, "Why is this dude always mad?" Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I'm like, "OK, here we go."'

'You have resting b***h face,' Hart joked.

'B****h? Now,' Affleck responded as he pretended to be mad.

'I have resting hard face. People are projecting onto me something that I don't feel about myself at all.'

There seemed to be issues with Bennifer way back in February 2023 at the Grammy Awards

Hart loses points for not asking Ben why he continues to be in showbusiness if he doesn't like attention.

Ben, who also directs, has no plans to stop acting: his next film is The Accountant 2. 

'My wife will tell you, I like to talk,' Ben also said earlier in the interview; it was worth noting that he did not say ex-wife, but the show could have been taped months ago.
